I searched the archives and I think this is ok, but I am driving 5 hours to the track tomorrow and don't want to find I was wrong when I get there...
I finished my cold air setup and the MAT sensor doesn't fit along it anywhere. I want to splice the wires and run it out where the filter is behind the driver's headlight but I don't have the wire to do a nice job right now. So I was planning on just tying it to a nearby line in the engine bay. I know it'll read a lot hotter than normal. But its my understanding that the chips (Thrasher 100 and Red 108) don't use the MAT reading for much anyways, so it shouldn't have any adverse effects on performance. The hood will be up in the staging lane anyways. Thanks as always.
